The email program will not adversely affect your photographs unless it is also adversely affecting everything else.
The first thing that you need to get out of your head is that someone's camera can control who a photograph is printed at some time in the future. It can't. You don't say which model photoprinter you have, but there may be a mismatch between your printer's aspect ratio and your camera's aspect ratio. You can only print a 4x6 photograph on 4x6 paper if you have a borderless printer. Otherwise, you will have a border of different width left and right than top and bottom.

Unless you are printing directly from your camera, it is not the nature of the camera. It is a combination of the application used to print your photographs and your print driver. Its
File > Print dialog box makes available certain sizes of paper and either landscape or portrait orientation. If you choose the proper size paper, then your application/print driver combination will scale your photograph to fit your paper. The worse that should happen is that selecting the wrong orientation results in too much white space on your photograph's short dimension.
The bottomline for both of you is that you need to understand your equipment and you need to understand the technology.
